While betting shops remain popular (I have five in my small town), the world of online betting has grown to massive proportions. A whole new world has opened to people who would never have set foot in a betting shop. Now people are free to research their bets in the comfort of their own home (or garden sometimes if you are anything like me), with the very latest information on the sporting event right at their finger tips.

Online betting offers you the opportunity to bet on events at anytime, day or night and see your winnings appear in your account in an instant. You don’t have to settle for the odds on offer in your local bookmakers, and can use a range of options to credit your account.

Betting exchanges offer you a new way to bet. With a betting exchange, you can bet against events happening. While this may not seem amazing at first, it opens a whole new range of options. You can bet against a team winning a football match, so that you win money on the other team’s win OR the draw, you can also make money before the event has even started, by trading on the varying odds. Don’t worry if that all sounds a bit complex, there is plenty of time to learn, and for the time being you can make the most of the generally more generous odds available on betting exchanges. For more information be sure to read the betting exchange articles on this site.

Opening an account with an online bookmaker or betting exchange is easy, all you need is an address and a method of funding the account. Oh, you need to be old enough too!

There is even more good news too; most betting sites will give you a free money bonus for signing up and crediting your betting account. There are various restrictions attached to the money, but in the main they are generous offers.

There are many different names in the online betting world, but if you are looking to sign up with a trusted high street name, or established big company to start with then, try one of the links above. They all offer good sign up offers and have great reputations and customer service.

You will need some money to start with, and it is well worth reading the sign up offer for each site to see which ones offer the best deal for your budget.

Once you have completed the sign up process, it is best to take some time to familiarize yourself with the layout and rules of the site. If you are totally new to the online betting world then it might seem overwhelming at first, but trust me, it will all fall into place very quickly.

Now you are signed up and ready to go, look out for offers in your email box from the sites you signed up with. There are often special offers on big sporting events. Be sure to read the other articles on this site to make sure you get the most from your betting experiences.
